PBINTEBS GALLEY FOR USE WITH THE MONO OR OTHER TYPE CASTING MACHINES.

Specification of Letters latent. P t ted Sept. 10, 1912.

Application filed November 16, 1911. Serial No. 660,650.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED HENRY STOCK- ALL, a subject of the King of Great Britain. resident of Bath, county of Somerset, England, engineer, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Galleys for Use with the Mono or other Type Casting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in printers galleys for use with mono or other type casting machines, as described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention is an improvement following my former United States Patent No. 990,676 and it consists essentially in the novel construction and arrangement of parts whereby the end gates are made interchangeable and are removably secured closing the ends of the galley.

The objects of the invention are to devise a galley which will allow the type to be passed in at either end as it is cast, thus facilitating the work of handling the type and obviating the necessity of transferring it to another galley, and to devise a simple form of galley the end gates of which will be selfv locking and interchangeable, end for end.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a, perspective view of a galley constructed in accordance with this invention showing one end gate in place. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective View of one end of the galley showing the end gate being inserted in position.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is a galley formed of a flat plate having the side flanges 2 preferably formed of lengths of angle iron.

3 are arc-shaped notches or slots cut in the upper edges of the side flanges 2 adjacent to the ends and extending downwardly and inwardly toward the center of the galley.

4: is an end gate here shown formed of a length of angle iron having one of the flanges tnereof formed with the lugs 5 pro jecting from the ends, said lugsbeing integral with the flange and formed arc-shaped extending downwardly from the top. The

lugs 5 are formed to fit snugly into the slots 3 in the flanges of the galley when the end gate is in position closing the end of the galley and the forwardly curved ends of said lugs hold the said gate securely from dislodgment vertically or horizontally.

In order to place the end gate in position it is merely necessary to insert the ends of'the curved lugs in the ends of the slots and release the gate. The weight of the gate causes the curved lugs to follow the guiding slots and the gate drops to its closed position.

It will be readily seen that the gate can only beremoved by a tilting movement consequently when the type is fitted into the.

galley against the end gate it can not possibly get out of place unless tilted from the outside and such a movement cannot occur accidentally.

The construction of the device is very simple and the end gate formed as shown and described is very easily made and con sists of only one piece of metal.

A very important feature in the presentdevice is that the end gate may be used at either end of the galley so as to accommodate the arrangement of the type.

c What I claim as my invention is 1. A printers galley having are shaped notches cut in the top edges of the side flanges adjacent tothe ends, and an end gate adapted to fit between said side flanges and having rigid are shaped lugs projecting laterally from the ends thereof and adapted to fit into said notches.

2. A printers galley having are shaped notches cut in the side flanges adjacent to the ends and extending downwardly and inwardly from the top, and an end gate formed of a piece of angle iron having projections from one of the flanges split from the bottom upwardly to a point adjacentto the top, the projecting portions being bentforwardly in arc shape and forming lugs adapted to extend into and fit snugly into the are shaped notches in the side flanges.

Signed at Bristol, England, this twentyeighth day of October, 1911.
